Written by You were probably taught, somewhere along the way, that anger is a problem.
Not a signal. Not information. Not a force with intelligence and purpose in it. A problem. Something to be managed, softened, apologized for, or eliminated entirely if you were spiritually serious enough. The good person is calm. The evolved person has transcended anger. The spiritual person radiates peace.
This teaching has done an enormous amount of damage to an enormous number of people.
Anger is not a character flaw. It is not a spiritual failure. It is one of the most intelligent and functionally important emotions in the human repertoire. A force that arises specifically in response to violation – of boundaries, of rights, of dignity, of what matters.
